Tag time!

Don't you just love those eyeballs?! Of course, I just HAD to add a touch of red Stickles to the eyeballs .... I'm not usually a Stickles kind of girl, but sometimes you just have to do what you have to do.

I'm taking this super-large tag with me to the Stitches trade show tomorrow at the Birmingham NEC. Hope to see some of you there :-)

This morning I was making a different sort of tag, at a workshop I run in my village. I just love this technique of alcohol ink on embossed metal, and then distressed with a sanding block. LOVE this look.

And here is the class all hard at work, helped along by some wonderful home baking by my Mum! Thanks Mum ;-)

i just love the tag Kate. Ive just bought some Dylusion Inks and have made some journal pages which ill show on WOYWW next week. Trouble is im a neat freak and am not comfortable with the mess they cause. Im still getting bubblegum pink off my hands.

Holy smacks, Kate, these are fabulous! I really love the first one...mostly it's background, but the monster is a killer too! Oh, I wish you created scrapbook papers so I could buy them and have some fabulous backgrounds without the mess.

Both tags are gorgeous. Ive got to save my pennies to get me some monsters. I do have a question for ya. When you say super large tag just how large are we talking about? I always have a time with making tags and always wonder what size to use and what size is norm if there is a norm. Thanks for sharing all your awesome works. I so wish i lived closer to you guys so i could attend a class. We have none around here to attend. Have a great weekend
